We are fast eroding our agricultural culture here in Australia. There’s a real disconnect between what we eat and where it comes from. We want convenience, we want access to all foods - all year round, and we don’t want to pay a lot for the privilege.
Our supermarkets are short changing Australian farmers and we are turning a blind eye. Our food is being populated by preservatives, fillers and stabilisers. Our public figures and social media influencers are being paid by major supermarket chains and suppliers to endorse products that destabilise our agricultural sector and perpetuate the health problems that exist within our society. At a time when our primary producers are facing unprecedented climactic disasters.
Primary producers need our continued support as the industry continues to undergo significant change and while we, as a nation, face uncertain times and ever-evolving climate adversities.
